Round One – Electronics: What’s on Your Gift List?

Consumer electronics appear to be a bright spot in what is expected to be an otherwise tepid holiday shopping season. Highlighting this, The Journal’s Christopher Lawtonreported today that TV sellers are confidently pushing bigger, higher-quality televisions this season. But consumers are also interested in portable devices — not only the iPhone but also the latest BlackBerry models and cutting-edge cameras and music players.

Vote below on your likely gadget gift, and stay tuned: The Holiday Sales Blog will have more polls in other categories as the season progresses.

• Which of these items are you most likely to purchase as a gift?

It has been a runaway victory for the “iPhone or iPod” category. Note that this category started off as iPhone only, but was changed into iPhone or iPod late Wednesday amid a surge in reader demand and write-ins for the iPod. Also, in a highly improbable move, Zune surged from less than 1% through most of the polling to 28% at the end. As always, these votes are nonscientific.
